WHAT IS FAMILY SUPPORT?
Family Support is a concept which assumes families are the most
valuable caregivers for their child or adult family member with a
developmental disability.
Family Support is a belief that the family should be supported in
whatever way possible to assure that their ability to care for their
disabled family member is enhanced and sustained for as long as the
living situation remains mutually satisfying, without relinquishing
individual identity, respect and self-determination.

prevent family crises.
Family Support is the practice of doing whatever it takes to provide
information, services and supports to all members of any family that has
an individual with a developmental disability in such a way that the
family maintains full choice, control and comfort with the services and
supports they need.
